Happy Zubmariner-ing! : )
In the past I was considered an odd one chasing 168000s. The 168000 was a bit of an urgly duckling. I added a 9.3m serial 168000 complete with box, booklets and papers back in 2012. It went straight to RSC for an overhaul, while keeping the dial and hands original. It comes with the correct 93150 bracelet and 593 endlinks. While I find the Submariner font interesting and quirky in the past, I never thought too much about it. I was estatic when I saw the quirky "Z'ubmariner on my favorite watch after reading your post! Thank you Joe for making my day!

Identifying future classic Rolex from the 1990-2018 era - Part 6/6: Rolex Submariner 168000
The Rolex Submariner 168000 represents a different style of addition to the “future classic” concept. The 168000 is, in fact, essentially identical to the Submariner 16800 that had been produced in very high numbers. The 168000, however, differs in two ve...
Yep
He does have one. Not sure the price. I bet it’s at or lower than a brand new Sub
Another one of your very informative posts !.. I've again bookmarked it for reference.. :))
.. Your series have been helpful & are great write-ups ! Thx for your comprehensive informations, Best, hs PS: In addition to my humble current Vintage Subs, (such as 1680/SR, 5513 in various versions) maybe one day such might be considered, but as you wr...
I put it on the list.....
......but the reality is that finding one in great condition is almost impossible
"It is not impossible. It is neccessary" a qoute from the movie Interstellar ;-)
But I am willing to make compromises in condition and papers and boxes. If it has papers missing but a Rolex service receipt than I am confident to buy.
I'm not sure what to say except 'thank you'. These are a really great series of posts.
I'm not sure where my interest will fall in terms of a chase for a future classic but i do like/prefer the 5 digit subs. And now here I see a 6 digit sub that's a 5 digit sub!
Your posts are gems!
Thanks Baron. There is so much rarity is such an ubiquitous timepiece as the Sub that watch nerds like us could seek to hold and to have!
I think what I am trying to do....
....is find Rolex rarities at prices that just haven't recognised that rarity yet. I think a Top 10 list is needed now!
Another great one.
The Zubmariner is fascinating and I can imagine how hard it is to find one. I still prefer the Long Good F for its no date and cooler name, but this is also great. Thanks for educating us. CC
Thx for e never ending story!
LOL. It has been complicated enough to locate a nice 14060M serial M LGF. And now that 😂😎👍🏻
Predictions are always difficult, especially when they affect the future!
Very interesting post Joe, never heard from this Zubmariner. Searching all my pictures and i dont find my watch now, this post always makes me crazy. Thanks!
When I see a post from you with that head title
I freak out, time I read your post I lost a significant amount of cash,Who knows how many more future classics can you come up with ?! 🤣
High quality post, Baron!
Thank you for extending this series of posts, love them! Zubmariner, very cool! Best Blomman
Fantastic and educational post..
I do have a 168000 but with a service dial. I don’t know whether it would still be important ?
Very interesting read
Thanks for taking the time to share this. Was the glossy dial used in the predecessor as well? I assume following version was fitted with a matte dial?
16800
I definitely know of matt dials. 168000, I have never seen a matt dial but only the typical gloss'd. I haven't done the research on prior and post models so will need to come back on that.......
Gentlemen...start your engines....
I meant search engines... Just amazing how many devils in the details. Not much left of the 14060M LGF, maybe 1 or 2 on the popular web but mostly in Europe 😔, which they are not keen to ship to US. This Zorro, I can forget it...I’ll save some money, on t...
Excellent information again
really enjoy reading this thread. Hope I am lucky enough to find one
Zunicorn!
This Zubmariner is like a Unicorn. Almost impossible to find one with all original dial and hands with matching Patina. Also very controversial. I see on Rolex Forum debate about there being 85s & 86sbouth new with papers and thus the 7-9 month production...

I have one......
Thank you Baron for this vital information.... I bought mine (new) in 1978 so when I noticed your date references....I went to check. Mine doesn't have the Zubmariner unfortunately.....but it's nice to know my 'humble' Rolex might be a rarity.. ...
